Kentucky snake-handling pastor has died -- of a snakebite

What was his position on the sign gifts?

For every dead snake handler, there is seemingly another loony lined up to take his place.

I was with my tax preparer today who happens to be charismatic and very aware of this story. She informed this was not the first time this pastor was bitten. Last time he lapsed into a coma for several days before recovering. However, this group apparently believes that accepting medical intervention would undermine the miraculous intervention of God in healing the man.
